Box Office Report: 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' open with average start

Box Office Report: 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' open with average start: Most of the four releases this Friday -- Yeh Saali Zindagi, Utt Pataang, United Six and Hum Dono (Rangeen) -- face rejection at the box office.

Of the four, the most promising (relatively) is director Sudhir Mishra’s rom-com crime caper Yeh Saali Zindagi, starring Irrfan Khan, Chitrangada Singh, Aditi Rao Hydari and Arunoday Singh. The film has got very positive reviews from critics and grossed around Rs. 1.20 crore on its opening day, which is below average.

Given the positive word of mouth, the collection might pick up on Saturday evening and Sunday.

On the other hand, Utt Pataang saw a very low response of about 10 percent (or even less) and grossed just a paltry sum of Rs. 10 lakh on its opening day.

The other two films - United Six and Hum Dono - fear a total washout at theatres.

Last week’s release Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji has rounded off its first week collection at a figure of Rs. 21 crore.
